ARCHIVE DOCUMENTATION
What is Create ZIP Archive?
Quickly bundle multiple documents, images, and folders into a single compressed ZIP file. This is essential for securely emailing large batches of files, creating organized project backups, or archiving old tax documents while saving storage space. Freelancers sending large project deliverables via email can compress entire directory structures into a single, manageable file to bypass attachment limits. A smart tip is to group related files into subfolders before zipping; this preserves the project's internal organization when the client finally extracts it. It drastically reduces upload times and keeps related assets tightly coupled.
